Question

A number when added to 3 times of itself gives 36. The number is ?​

Answer 1

Answer -

• The number = 9.

To find -

• The number.

Step-by-step explanation -

Let the number be "x".

Then -

• Three times the number will be "3x".

Given that -

• When the number is added to 3 times of itself, we get 36.

Therefore -

$\implies \mathfrak{3x + x = 36}$

$\implies \mathfrak{4x = 36}$

$\implies \mathfrak{x = \cancel{\dfrac{36}{4}}}$

$\implies \mathfrak{x = 9}$

Thus -

• The number is 9.

________________________________

Verification -

• To check our answer, let's substitute the value of "x" in the equation and see whether LHS = RHS.

LHS :

$\longrightarrow$ 3x + x

$\longrightarrow$ 3 × 9 + 9

$\longrightarrow$ 27 + 9

$\longrightarrow$ 36

RHS :

$\longrightarrow$ 36

LHS = RHS

Hence verified!!
